Daniel Craig set for 'Dream House'

Psychological thriller begins filming Jan. 25 in Toronto

TORONTO – Daniel Craig may shoot his James Bond films at the Pinewood Shepperton studio in Britain, but he'll soon be at Pinewood Studios Toronto to star in the Jim Sheridan psychological thriller "Dream House."

The Morgan Creek feature is booked to shoot from January 25 to April 9, 2010 at the Toronto studio now managed by Pinewood Shepperton.

As part of its five-year sales and marketing pact with the Pinewood Studios Toronto investors, Pinewood Shepperton is not expected to shift projects from its British facilities to Toronto.

But the British studio giant does earn fees based on the revenue performance of Pinewood Toronto Studios, which is steadily filling up since Ontario recently sweetened its film tax credit for foreign producers.

In "Dream House," Craig plays a man who moves his family to an quaint town, only to discover his house is haunted by former inhabitants who were murdered there.

Also shooting at Pinewood Studios Toronto to the end of the year is John Dowdle's "Devil," part of M. Night Shyamalan's three-film financing/production partnership with Media Rights Capital.
